A beautiful shot with a wonderful history. When I visited my aunt in Soest a few decades ago, their church was celebrating its 1000 year history. Amazing to us from the states who have nothing older than two centuries. Lovely image, Klaus.

Sehr schönes Foto. Der Kontrast zu den Bäumen gefällt mir sehr gut. Die Steinglasfenster sehen auch sehr schön aus.

This church certainly looks old (just as I like it :) ), though I didn't expect it to be more than a thousand years old!

I'd be real curious how the stained glass windows look like. Imagine if you took this photo at night with lights shining out from inside through the windows; I think they'd look BEAUTIFUL. :)
